Dear Ms Ruiz,
I regret to write I'm denying your requested postponement of your required seminars.
As I reminded you in our meeting yesterday, you're allowed to remain in the dormitories *only* on the condition of your attendance. Should you not attend, please vacate your room Monday.
Considering your planned visit to your parents: were this the only incident in your folder I'd agree. However, the number of reports indicate this action's past due. I hope you and your boyfriend will be able to use the airline tickets later.
Sincerely
Amy McClintock

Incident: Noise??
The RA on duty heard complaints of odd noises coming from Mariana's room. When RA approached door he heard sounds of a dull thumping, "like a muffled drum" & also what he took to be distressed crying.
Ruiz responded to the knock somewhat dishevelled. She claimed to be fine, that she and her guest were simply having a discussion. Ruiz apologized for behaviour the previous weekend.
RA left, and didn't investigate again despite repeated reports of further noise.
Notes scrawled on folder:
6 / 1 / 98
No further violations. Note effectiveness of "Making Responsible Choices" seminar.
